That's only about a week, I wouldn't think that was too long Aren't you still bruised? I had needle biopsy last year 10/28 and mastectomy 11/5 and the pain was gone prior to the mastectomy, then no pain with the mastectomy. Don't let it go too long without having doc check it.

If you have any questions about discomfort, pain, bruising, etc, you should contact your dr. I had a needle biopsy on Oct 7th, and it's sore and uncomfortable when I try to sleep, but I don't feel anything else. I have to say though, I had more pain during and after with this biopsy that was performed by a Radiologist than with the one performed by the surgeon in Sept.

My core biopsy hurt worst than the lumpectomy and the node removal. If it still hurts keep icing it and do not push it. You may need to go back to surgeon and see if you have a hemotoma or something like that.
